SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating multiple exploratory tasks across a codebase or research goal can lead to long wait times. This Skill enables launching several subagents at once to speed up discovery and reduce wall-clock time.

Core Features & Use Cases

Parallel task launches: run multiple Explore subagents simultaneously for broad coverage.
Structured synthesis: collate and reconcile results into a unified answer with references.
Use Case: Investigate a bug by querying multiple areas and tooling outputs at once, rather than sequential scans.

Quick Start

To start, send a single message that launches multiple Explore subagents in parallel and then synthesize the results.

FAQPage Schema

How do I explore a codebase in parallel to speed up research?▼

You explore a codebase in parallel by launching multiple subagents simultaneously to run broad coverage searches. This collates cross-file results into a unified answer, significantly reducing wall-clock time.

How do I investigate a bug across multiple files without sequential scanning?▼

Investigating a bug without sequential scanning requires launching parallel subagents to query multiple codebase areas and tooling outputs at once. This structured synthesis reconciles the findings into a unified answer with references.

What is a parallel subagent for codebase research?▼

A parallel subagent for codebase research is an autonomous task payload defined by a subagent_type, description, and prompt. It executes cross-file exploration concurrently with other subagents to gather multi-source context rapidly.

Can I run multiple subagents simultaneously for cross-file exploration?▼

Yes, you can run multiple subagents simultaneously for cross-file exploration. You craft a single message containing structured Task payloads for each subagent, enabling them to execute research questions concurrently.

What is the best way to structure task payloads for parallel codebase exploration?▼

The best way to structure task payloads for parallel codebase exploration is to define each payload with subagent_type, description, and prompt fields. This structure allows each subagent to execute its specific research task independently.

When should I avoid using parallel subagents for debugging?▼

You should avoid using parallel subagents for debugging when tasks are strictly sequential or highly interdependent. Parallel exploration is designed for broad, independent cross-file discovery rather than linear, state-dependent execution paths.
